1) Again, what does the premise of this thread have to do with children playing games that are not age appropriate?

2) Your own link has actually advocated FOR the game used in the example;

"The good news is that pro-social games, where the main aim is to help someone else, have a positive effect on behaviour[xiv]*to the same extent that violent games have a negative effect."


The aim in the game that Esther has an issue with, and that this thread is about, is to HELP the victim of violence. Therefore - according to your link - this will have a positive effect on the player. Right?

I think some people in the thread don't realise that not helping the victim of violence in the game would contribute to getting a less than satisfactory ending to a game. The game wants you to make the right choices so all the good characters make it out of the situation in a good state.
